Black Drama

New Territories (Spectacle is King)

Director: Rhea Storr

Year: 2025

A summer in the life of a filmmaker weaving her way through six carnivals in England. Observing Caribbean cultural life celebrated-and contested- in public space. We witness multi stage soundsystems, Black Lives Matter floats, histories of violence and peace in the geography of local cities. This film is about how to (and how not to) make an image. The film is inspired by Isaac Julien’s TERRITORIES, made with Sankofa Film and Video Collective in 1984. While Julien catalogues the antagonistic relationship between Black community and the police at Notting Hill Carnival, NEW TERRITORIES considers the role of spectatorship turned consumerism in laying the ground in which Black and Caribbean identities are defined.
